ANOTHER New PARTY.

The prohibitionists and labor people
are not to divide the honors of opposing
the older parties. The call is out for Il
convention at Philadelphia, September
16 and Il. of "A so-called American party.
The platform as outlined in the call is
ambitious, to say the least. but the main
idea Of it seems to be that of = America
for Americans Here are the chief
points in it
% The restriction of immigration: (2)
a thorough revision of the naturalization
laws; (3) reserving American lands for
American citizens only: (4 the protec-
ton of Americans. in all their rights, on
land or sea, in all parts of the world {:
90 to restrict and guard the right of
elective franchise: (6) to abolish polyg-
amy in the United States Immediately
and entirely; % to enact and enforce
such laws as will tend to eradicate in
temperance: (S) to develop the resources
of the country by Il wise system of inter
nal improvements (9) TO protect and
promote the American system of free
common schools; (lO) to adjust the rela-
tions between labor and capital, on a
permanent basis of equity and justice.

The CHAMPLAIN VALLEY AGRIouL TURAL
SOClETY'S FAIR.

! The 20th annual fair of the above So
Iciety, which is to be held at Vergennes on
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday of next week, promises to be the
largest exhibition of horses, cattle and
agricultural products ever given by the
society. The recent erection of COM
modious grand stand, extensive stalls.
sheds, etc, together with one of the
best half-mile tracks in the State, is an
assurance that the annual fairs are to be
permanent. The success which accom-
panied the exhibitions of 1888 and 1856
has encouraged the management to eX-
tend their accommodations and ask the
hearty cooperation of the people, espe-
cially the farming community. There
will be no address, that abOmination hav-
ing been dispensed with. The people are
generally more interested in the carving
out of the programme than in listening
to bombastic oratory. The Nergennes
cornet band will furnish the music, which
is an assurance that that part of the pro-
gramme, as well as the rest, will be first
class. The State reform school with the
reform school band will parade on Fri
day afternoon. The races promise tC
contain more interest this year than ever
before. Let every one contribute "a
make the fair a success. Premium lists
giving full details, may be had on appl
cation TO the secretary, Mr.. +. c. Dyer

body to put the prohibitory law in oper-
alton. But its enforcement may fairly
be looked upon as public matter-one
in which the community as awhole has
an interest; and under this theorv-which
is the true working theory, as it seems to
us-there would be no inconsistency in
appointing public officers to do the pub
lies business. How else the law will
ever become effective in the larger towns,
where there are numerous drinkers and
where the profits of selling warrant the
risk, we cannot see. What we need is
not more law, but some machinery for
working the law.

ply implies that the failure to patrol the
track for six hours before the train came,
and the habit of burning grass close to
the track, are subject to criticism" How
it came about that the road escaped blame
is explained in the closing words of the
dispatch, as follows: "Three or four
friends of the road on the jury had better
staying qualities than two or three who
wanted to fix portion of the blame on
the management"
If our Vermont farmers would culti-
vate their home markets and repeal the
iniqutous law taxing mortgaged real es-
tate. they would be sure to prosper. In
raising farm products for shipment to
Boston or New York, Vermont never can
compete with the West and it is folly to
think of it for a moment. But if our
farmers would raise the garden stuff for
which there is an abundant and unlimited
demand in all our towns and large vii
lagos if they would devote themselves
to the manufacture of gilt-edged butter
and cheese; if they would make spe-
cialty of horses or cows or hogs, as some
of them have of Merino sheep; if. in
short, they would look the situation in
the face and make the best of it. they
would make money and the country
would blossom like a rose st. Johns

NOT AUTOMATIC.

There is law enough to crush every
liquor dealer in the State. If the busi-
ness of rum selling is curtailable under
the law, enforce the statutes and eXtin-
gush the traffic utterly. That is the let
ter and spirit of prohibition, not too
"largely curtail' the drink evil The law
is not automatic, both political parties
demand its rigid enforcement, and this
demand is heavy and ever present duty
and responsibility upon every citizen.
There is no need of threats and bluster.
Any man may wing the bolt that shall
smite the liquor seller. And if there are
frequent and open violations of the law"
in any community, as the REGISTER says,
there would seem to be gap somewhere
between the law and public sentiment, or
adeplOrable lack of moral courage among
temperance people Rural Nermonter
The above remarks are called out by
the recent editorial paragraph in these
columns relative to the liquor traffic in
this community. The Vermonter is wrong.
in our opinion, when it says that where
there are violations of the law there is IA
lack of right public sentiment, or the
temperance people are wanting in moral
courage. 1t Is nearer the truth when it
says 1.-The law is not automatic" That
is so, and out of that fact grow all the
troubles which attend its enforcement.
Most other criminal laws enforce them
selves. If a thief steals, somebody is "A
loser and is therefore anxious to bring
the thief to Justice. If the peace is brok-
en-, family or a neighborhood is robbed
of its rest. But when a dealer sells a
glass of rum the one sinned against-the
buyer-doesn't feel at all aggrieved. In
other words, in every violation of the
prohibitory there are to all intents and
purposes two criminals. The one who
sells is criminal under the law, and the
buyer is the instigator of the crime and
consequently in large measure response
BILE for its commission. But if the law is
to work as other criminal laws do, the
buyer should be expected to complain of
the seller, for he, if any one person, is
the individual who suffers from the crime.
such expectation is on its face absurd
and therefore the law does not and never
will enforce itself.
We see no way out of the difficulty ex-
cept to create special set of officers
whose business it shall be to secure the
enforcement of the prohibitory law. The
prosecuting officers we now have are not
police officers. Their duty is solely to
act when complaints are made to them
Common police officers are appointed
only to keep the peace, or at any rate
they regard that as the extent of theil
mission. The result is that there is no

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

We find it impossible to fulfil onr agree
ment to discontinue all papers not paid in
advance at this date. so many OF our friends
came around to settle up and take new start
that il has used up about all the time we had
to spare to attend to them, leaving us no
chance to prepare and send out notifications
to those still in arrears. 1t would obviously
be Unfair to cut of those who had not been in
formed that they were behind, as the date OF
expiration does not appear on the paper; SO
we have decided, in order to do justice to all
to continue to send out statements of their
standing to delinquents, and then they will be
cut Off if they do not heed the call
Our supply OF wood far exceeds the demand
and no more will be received on subscriptions
this season.
